1 Chapter 8: Searching and Sorting Arrays 8.1 Introduction to Search Algorithms Introduction to Search Algorithms Search: locate an item in a list of information Two algorithms we will examine: Linear search Binary search Linear Search Also called the sequential search Starting at the first element, this algorithm sequentially steps through an array examining each element until it locates the value it is searching for. Linear Search - Example Array numlist contains: Searching for the the value 11, linear search examines 17, 23, 5, and 11 Searching for the the value 7, linear search examines 17, 23, 5, 11, 2, 29, and 3 Linear Search Algorithm: set found to false; set position to 1; set index to 0 while index < number of elts. and found is false if list[index] is equal to search value found = true position = index end if add 1 to index end while return position 1
2 A Linear Search Function Linear Search - Tradeoffs int searchlist(int list[], int numelems, int value) int index = 0; // Used as a subscript to search array int position = -1; // To record position of search value bool found = false; // Flag to indicate if value was found while (index < numelems &&!found) if (list[index] == value) // If the value is found found = true; // Set the flag position = index; // Record the value's subscript index++; // Go to the next element return position; // Return the position, or -1 Benefits: Easy algorithm to understand Array can be in any order Disadvantages: Inefficient (slow): for array of N elements, examines N/2 elements on average for value in array, N elements for value not in array Binary Search Requires array elements to be in order 1. Divides the array into three sections: middle element elements on one side of the middle element elements on the other side of the middle element 2. If the middle element is the correct value, done. Otherwise, go to step 1. using only the half of the array that may contain the correct value. 3. Continue steps 1. and 2. until either the value is found or there are no more elements to examine Binary Search - Example Array numlist2 contains: Searching for the the value 11, binary search examines 11 and stops Searching for the the value 7, linear search examines 11, 3, 5, and stops Binary Search Set first index to 0. Set last index to the last subscript in the array. Set found to false. Set position to -1. While found is not true and first is less than or equal to last Set middle to the subscript half-way between array[first] and array[last]. If array[middle] equals the desired value Set found to true. Set position to middle. Else If array[middle] is greater than the desired value Set last to middle - 1. Else Set first to middle + 1. End If. End While. Return position. A Binary Search Function int binarysearch(int array[], int size, int value) int first = 0, // First array element last = size - 1, // Last array element middle, // Mid point of search position = -1; // Position of search value bool found = false; // Flag while (!found && first <= last) middle = (first + last) / 2; // Calculate mid point if (array[middle] == value) // If value is found at mid found = true; position = middle; else if (array[middle] > value) // If value is in lower half last = middle - 1; else first = middle + 1; // If value is in upper half return position; 2
3 Binary Search - Tradeoffs Benefits: Much more efficient than linear search. For array of N elements, performs at most log 2 N comparisons Disadvantages: Requires that array elements be sorted 8.3 Introduction to Sorting Algorithms Introduction to Sorting Algorithms Sort: arrange values into an order: Alphabetical Ascending numeric Descending numeric Two algorithms considered here: Bubble sort Selection sort Bubble Sort Concept: Compare 1 st two elements If out of order, exchange them to put in order Move down one element, compare 2 nd and 3 rd elements, exchange if necessary. Continue until end of array. Pass through array again, exchanging as necessary Repeat until pass made with no exchanges Example First Pass Example Second Pass Array numlist3 contains: After first pass, array numlist3 contains: compare values 17 and 23 in correct order, compare values 23 and 5 not in correct order, compare values 23 and 11 not in correct order, 5 not in correct order, 11 not in correct order, 23 in correct order, 3
4 Example Third Pass After second pass, array numlist3 contains: A Bubble Sort Function From Program 8-4 compare values 5 and 11 in correct order, compare values 11 and 17 in correct order, 23 in correct order, No exchanges, so array is in order Bubble Sort - Tradeoffs Benefit: Easy to understand and implement Disadvantage: Inefficient: slow for large arrays Selection Sort Concept for sort in ascending order: Locate smallest element in array. Exchange it with element in position 0 Locate next smallest element in array. Exchange it with element in position 1. Continue until all elements are arranged in order Selection Sort - Example Array numlist contains: Smallest element is 2. Exchange 2 with element in 1 st position in array: Example (Continued) 2. Next smallest element is 3. Exchange 3 with element in 2 nd position in array: Next smallest element is 11. Exchange 11 with element in 3 rd position in array:
5 A Selection Sort Function From Program void selectionsort(int array[], int size) int startscan, minindex, minvalue; for (startscan = 0; startscan < (size - 1); startscan++) minindex = startscan; 42 minvalue = array[startscan]; 43 for(int index = startscan + 1; index < size; index++) if (array[index] < minvalue) minvalue = array[index]; 48 minindex = index; array[minindex] = array[startscan]; 52 array[startscan] = minvalue; Selection Sort - Tradeoffs Benefit: More efficient than Bubble Sort, since fewer exchanges Disadvantage: May not be as easy as Bubble Sort to understand Sorting and Searching Vectors 8.5 Sorting and Searching Vectors Sorting and searching algorithms can be applied to vectors as well as arrays Need slight modifications to functions to use vector arguments: vector <type> & used in prototype No need to indicate vector size functions can use size member function to calculate 5
